Agriturismo San Leonardello, nestled in the countryside of Eastern Sicily, is an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility, nature, and authenticity. Located just a few kilometers from the sea, it provides a stunning view that encompasses Mount Etna, Taormina, and even the Calabrian coast. The family-run establishment and its welcoming atmosphere make it a perfect choice in every season.

The accommodations are housed in restored rural buildings, constructed with traditional materials such as Sicilian terracotta, lava stone, and chestnut wood, and decorated in accordance with local customs. The rooms, available as doubles and triples—some interconnected—are designed to accommodate families or groups of friends, while the suite, adorned with a fresco and featuring a panoramic terrace, offers a unique experience. Guests have access to common areas, including a lounge with satellite TV and Wi-Fi, a small kitchen, and a meeting room. The facility also boasts a restored ancient wine press, a testament to the region's winemaking heritage.

Mornings begin with a breakfast brimming with authentic flavors, featuring kumquat and orange jams, homemade preserves, honey from the farm, and traditional Sicilian pastries. For lunch and dinner, partnerships with local restaurants allow guests to enjoy typical Sicilian dishes, complemented by D.O.C. wines from Etna and the island's renowned pastries.

Agriturismo San Leonardello provides a variety of experiences to enhance your stay. These include Sicilian cooking and beekeeping classes, yoga sessions, and environmental education initiatives. Guests can also explore the surrounding area through trekking on Mount Etna, guided tours of geological caves, and visits to museums, artisan workshops, and historic sites in Eastern Sicily.

The property features spacious leisure areas equipped with table tennis, mountain bikes, a playground, and a small petting zoo. Its strategic location makes it easy to reach natural and cultural attractions, such as the Alcantara Gorges, the beaches of the Ionian coast, and the mosaics of Piazza Armerina.

Certified by ICEA, Agriturismo San Leonardello stands out for its organic production of citrus fruits, honey, preserves, and artisanal liqueurs, all available for purchase. Every detail is meticulously attended to, ensuring an unforgettable stay immersed in nature and Sicilian tradition.

Hey, I'm Vera & Saria

We are Vera and Saria Calabretta, guardians of a story rich in the scent of orange blossoms and traditions. Our love for these lands, situated at the foothills of Mount Etna, stems from a family legacy filled with emotions and deep roots. At the end of the 19th century, our grandfather Rosario Calabretta, who came from a family of citrus exporters, purchased this land and transformed it into a place where lemon cultivation became the vibrant heart of agricultural activity. Even today, many of the plants that beautify the garden are the same ones that our grandfather planted and nurtured with care. In the early 20th century, lemon farming became so dominant in this area of Eastern Sicily that the region was nicknamed the "Lemon Riviera," a name that evokes its fragrance and beauty. In 2000, motivated by the desire to share this special place, we converted the old country houses, which once served as our family's summer retreat, into a welcoming agritourism business. Here, we host our guests, sharing with them the authenticity and charm of a story that is deeply ours. We take great pride in preserving this historic garden and cultivating it according to the principles of organic farming, certified by ICEA, with respect for nature and the traditions passed down to us. Environmental sustainability is at the core of every decision we make, guiding us in enhancing this unique place and preserving it for future generations. Welcoming guests here, in a corner of Sicily that carries memory and authenticity, is our way of celebrating and sharing what we hold most dear.
